Bluesy Blues (o)

[Bluepaw]

Bluepaw padded into the Apprentices' Den for the first time, taking in her surroundings. Huh. It's really not that different from the Nursery. There were still nests around, and apprentices were in pairs or small groups, most speaking but some playing. There just weren't any queens around, and mentors came in to find their apprentices. 


Bluepaw scanned the faces in the den, but she didn't recognize anyone at the moment (not that she knew many cats anyways). I guess I could go ahead and make my nest, she thought. She probably wouldn't use it that often, but at least she'd have something to do. I'm sure I'll find some cats I already know. Who knows? Maybe I'll meet someone new today.


Gathering some moss, Blue looked for a place to make her nest, and her eyes landed on a quiet space. With a small smile, she padded over to the slightly-isolated spot. It was shaded by a few large rocks, but it wasn't too noticeable. Hmm...this is probably why I don't know too many cats, she thought with an amused smile. Oh well. I like it. It's a nice spot for a nest. Bluepaw went to work shaping the moss into a type of nest. She wasn't that good at crafting her nest, but that didn't bother her. She knew it'd turn out however it'd turn out. Besides, she just needed something to do to keep her mind and paws busy.

[Berylpaw]

Berylpaw, in making his new nest in the apprentices' den, had specificity picked the quietest spot in the den. It was away from most other nests, which meant less noise for him to deal with. Noise really freaked Berylpaw out, so there was no real surprise that he didn't have a lot of friends. He didn't like speaking, which usually meant that he never ended up speaking to other cats in order to actually make friends. He wasn't really a social butterfly.

So when he heard some shuffling near his nest he turned to see what it was, almost expecting it to be some rat or something more menacing than what the sound actually was. It was just a new apprentice making their nest. Berylpaw watched as the she-cat arranged her moss and everything into a form that loosely resembled a nest. It wasn't what Beryl would consider the best nest, but he also didn't see a problem with it. It didn't look like a twig would stab her while she slept at least.

Berylpaw, for just a moment, considered introducing himself first and striking up a conversation, but his distaste for talking was brought to the surface again and he ended up just watching her make her nest instead of saying anything to the she cat. This was why he had no friends.

[Bluepaw]

OOC: sorry for the late reply! I forgot that I hadn't bookmarked this thread, so I thought no one had responded xD

Bluepaw gave a sigh of satisfaction as she completed her "nest." Even if she didn't sleep in it often, at least Blue could say she had a nest. Well...I wonder what I should do now...There's no one really over here at the moment, and training's done for the day.


Blue decided to look around the Apprentices' Den some more. When she turned around, she was startled to find a tom watching her. She jumped back a bit at the shock, but then relaxed. Has he been here the whole time? "Sorry, I didn't know you were here. Um...so is your nest over here as well?" Awkward as ever. Oh well. That just seemed to be the norm when Bluepaw met others. 

[Berylpaw]

As the she-cat finished making her nest Berylpaw thought about what it might be like having somebody else sleep nearby now. He assumed that she'd be quiter since she had made her nest in the quiet part of the den, but maybe she was more talkative and just didn't have anywhere else to put a nest. Beryl got lost in his thoughts a little, so when the she-cat spoke he nearly jumped out of his fur.

"Oh, well, yeah, uh, I'm in my nest right now." The peach coloured tom murmured and shifted so that she could see his nest better. If she thought she was awkward then she hadn't even began to get to know Berylpaw. He flicked his ear back slightly before looking at her nest again nervously. What if she was a loud cat? What if she made noises while she slept? It was hard enough for Beryl to sleep with his own nightmares he didn't need some cat making noise and scaring him in the middle of the night. He didn't voice these concerns though.

[Bluepaw]

Bluepaw felt color rise in her cheeks. "Oh. Right. Oops," she replied with an embarrassed laugh. "Guess that was obvious." Blue kept her eyes on the tom, but he seemed to be a little lost in thought, so she decided to try to keep conversation moving. "Um...I'm Bluepaw. I just got here and everything...What's your name?" This tom seemed to be awkward just like Bluepaw, but she didn't mind that. In fact, it made her feel less self-conscious about being awkward.

[Berylpaw]

Berylpaw imediately noticed that she seemed a little embarrassed about her oversight. He felt a little bad. He hadn't meant it in a mean way or meant to embarrass her, but it seemed as if it had turned out that way. Beryl simply shook his head and shrugged as she stated that it was probably obvious. He twitched his ear again as she started to introduce herself and ask for his name as well. "Berylpaw." He stated simply and nodded his greeting. "Nice to meet you." He added after a quick second.

[Bluepaw]

Bluepaw laughed lightly at his response. "Nice to meet you, too, Berylpaw." Berylpaw seemed nice even though he was awkward. Bluepaw hoped they could be friends. "So. how long have you been in this den?" she asked. "I've only just gotten here, as you could probably tell." Another slightly embarrassed smile...Oh well. It was better than just awkwardly staring at him.

[Berylpaw]

Bluepaw seemed rather nice. She talked more than he would prefer, but really everybody talked more than Berylpaw liked. She was nice and really that seemed to be the thing he recognized most. "Ah well, I got here recently too. I was probably the ceremony before you." He explained in his quite voice.
